A RESOLUTION memorializing Congress to refrain from enacting or amending
any legislation that would define certain sexual or life-style preferences as
having protected class status.
WHEREAS, In this great nation, ALL citizens regardless of race, creed,
color, gender or age have equal fundamental rights and have equal protection
under the law; and
WHEREAS, These fundamental rights include the rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness as stated by our founders in the Declaration of
Independence; and
WHEREAS, The sexual and life-style preferences of all of our citizens
are matters for individual decisions and such decisions are entitled to equal
protection under the law. However such preferences of some people are not
entitled to have priority over the preferences of any of our other citizens:
Now, therefore,
Be it Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Kansas:
That we memorialize Congress to refrain from enacting or amending any
legislation that defines certain sexual or life-style preferences as having
protected class status; and
Be it further resolved: That the Chief Clerk of the House of
Representatives be directed to send enrolled copies of this resolution to
each member of the Kansas Congressional Delegation.
